I have been active, attending group fitness classes, and sports since I was young but decided to help others achieve their health and fitness goals after a health scare I had back in 2006. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and most doctors/specialists gave you little hope of recovering and you were told to moderate exercise and manage pain through prescription drugs. After seeing one doctor after another for a year, I decided to try Functional Medicine and they helped me get back on track with diet and exercise as well as weaning off the 15 medications I was taking. In 2008, I was completely healed after a Christian Missionary prayed for me and coached me through trauma that I had previously not dealt with. Once I was able to get back to my normal body weight (lost 45 lbs) and built up my endurance and muscle tone again, many people were asking me how I did it. I helped several get back into healthy routines through diet and fitness. In 2016, I became official as a personal trainer and started teaching group fitness. I am married and have 2 beautiful girls who are 10 and 6. They love to workout with me and believe that fitness is the way to keep mommy happy:)
